same la bro..concept is the same one ma..i answer u answer..the answer would be the same..lol...

the reason y my bokeh circles were alot bigger its bcoz that i shoot using 1.4....and when im on 2.8..im using macro on those figurine..so distance btwn subject vs camera is extremely close..

hope it helps

eahaehhea ...bro....hmmm i think I am TOO far from the background, its abour more than 10 meter lo..probably thats y my bokeh not so big.......

i took it at pavillion just now..many trees there....

Flash FTW!

edit: if u NEVER gonna plan to shoot at night. yes, 50mm F1.8 is great 'daylight' lens, and even limited indoor session. as long as provided there is enough light, 50F1.8 is a good buy over flash. well, its up to u. provided when shooting indoor, that there are sufficient lighting. and less moving subjects.

1. bigger apperture, F2.0 or F1.4 if u can.
2. closer focus (meaning moving ur subject nearer) the Out of focus will be more outoffocus (thus bigger bola)

and (this doesnt apply to 50mm)

3. using long tele, it Will give more bigger bokeh due to DOF

????... dont really get what u mean, but yes, large apperture produce more blurer and smooth bokeh... (dont judge from the photo yet, kit lens can produce bokeh, but wont be excel like a prime F1.4/F1.8) the bokeh is there due to the distance to the subject is much closer (coz subject is small) when shooting human, which are many times bigger then the little toy, ur distance will increase, so will DoF, thus ur bokeh cricles Will Get Smaller. also, the bokeh effect is dependent of the distance from the focus point (subject), the futher the background, the better the bokeh too.

with girl like that over there? i bet all the driver will forget to belok kiri

spie : Get a Sony F42 straight le. (:

Just got my beercan, yeay !!! 1st impression : slow autofocusing at 210 in low-light situation, love the F4 and bokeh, quite heavy and big too, difficult to hold =) still trying to play with this lens.

Update 1

The autofocusing sound is yummy at all range (at least for me) except at 70, the creaking mechanical sound just too harsh for my ears.

Getting used to its MFD =)

Love the built, classic feel, but not quite classy =)

The surface of the this lens is perfect, lucky me, no scratches at all, the coating is intact.

On the body got some scratches =( but negligible (comforting myself )

Update 2

I officially considered this lens ONLY for noisy places eg. outdoors, concerts etc. and totally NOT for any silent events, because the focusing sound is too loud

P/S : I hope I can write like this, not to brag or anything, just too excited and want to share experience of getting a used lens with other alphanatics, especially for a beginner like me

whats the market price for beercan in malaysia?

Q : Is it true ; the longer the focal range is for a lens, the longer the time it takes to autofocus ?

typically, it will, coz its dimmer for the sensor to detect the edge contrast, partly the reason ppl opt for fixed apertures like 2.8 or 4

u eyeing the beer can at CS?? few days ago, got a person selling at $180. Within same day kena sapu.

thanks bro...

didnt know so many people stalking CS forum also xD the beercan was sold in less than an hour @@" now thinking to get from ebay, but worry bout the postage
